Objectives To evaluate perceived fatigability as a predictor of meaningful functional decline
in non‐mobility‐limited older adults. Design Longitudinal analysis of data from the Baltimore …

Frailty syndrome describes a clinical state of increased vulnerability that is recognized by
progressive multisystemic decline, reduced physiological reserve and ability to cope with …

Frailty is a physiological syndrome that increases the risk of poor health. Although some
research has been conducted to study the benefits of physical exercise in frail elderly …

Background Increasing the level of physical activity among persons with signs of frailty
improves physical functioning. There is a lack of long-term supervised physical exercise …

Background: Fried and colleagues described a frailty phenotype measured in the
Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). This phenotype is manifest when≥ 3 of the following …

Fifteen community dwelling older adults, ages 66 to 97 years, with at least one risk factor for
recurrent falls, attended a thrice weekly group exercise class for 8 weeks. In post-versus …

The population is aging, and the biology of aging is conducive to both the development of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as frailty, such that a bidirectional relationship exists …

Frailty is a geriatric syndrome of impaired resistance to stressors due to a decline in
physiologic reserve. Frailty and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share a common biological …

Key Points Frailty is a clinical syndrome that increases in prevalence with increasing age.
Frailty is strongly associated with poor outcomes for older adults: functional loss, falls …

Background: Frailty is a fairly common biological syndrome in the elderly. Older adults (OAs)
can be classified as in non-frail, pre-frail, and frail status. They may transition between levels …
